Russian researchers say they have recorded the first “conversation” between a pair of dolphins. The dolphins, named Yasha and Yana, could apparently create sentences of up to five “words.” This is cool, and overwhelming. What were these dolphs talking about? Do you think they were talking about me?

Well, it’s April 14, and you know what that means: banks are closed and parade routes are being blocked off across America in honor of National Dolphin Day, a holiday that was of course dreamed up by Big Dolphin but a great opportunity to spend some time thinking about Malcolm Brenner nonetheless. Who’s Malcolm…

Dolphins see people—we already know this. But what do we talk about when we talk about dolphins seeing people? Cool new scientific imaging shows a relatively clear image of what these compelling sea mammals actually envision when they look at humans.

The Orange County Register is reporting that a dolphin leapt out of the ocean, into a boat, and onto a woman’s lower extremities, breaking her ankles. They’re smart, they’re much nastier than Madeleine L’Engle led you to believe, and they are absolutely coming for us.

Malcolm Brenner is the only man on Earth to achieve international fame for having sex with a dolphin. A former investigative journalist who covered the American Southwest, he remains best known for his 1970's love affair—mostly romantic, briefly sexual—with a bottlenose dolphin named Dolly. Their "courtship," which…

The Associated Press is reporting that a two-headed dolphin calf has washed up dead on a shore in Turkey. Scientists claim that a dolphin with two heads is very rare but is similar to conjoined twins in humans. One Turkish museum has asked that this horseman of the apocalypse be put on display.

Margaret Howe Lovatt, a researcher who participated in a NASA-funded experiment to teach dolphins to speak English, got more than she bargained for when an adolescent dolphin became sexual with her. But she didn't mind.

In case you needed any more evidence that dolphins are Just Like Us™, scientists have now observed them deliberately altering their mental states by chewing on toxic puffer fish. Dolphins are GETTING WASTED, you guys.

Dolphins are smart. Except that, dolphins may not be so smart, at least not according to one South African researcher who is trying to corner the market on schadenfreude-laced dolphin studies because (and we’re just spitballing here) 1) his entire family was killed by dolphin mercenaries, 2) he’s really, really sick…

In case you still doubted that dolphins have an awareness rivaling our own, new research shows that these cetaceans can remember the whistles of their old tank-mates after being separated for more than 20 years! No species other than humans has demonstrated such a long-term social memory.

Dolphins are magical, highly-intelligent creatures that play with surfers, save drunk people from riptides, and jump over the rings of Lisa Frank’s neon-splattered Saturn. They’re cosmic beings, dolphins are, in direct communication with the undying essence of the universe, privy to the semi-divine thalassic secrets…

In the late 19th century, the Howell torpedo was an incredibly advanced piece of military equipment, a breakthrough device in the United States' quest to achieve naval dominance. But only one surviving Howell torpedo was known to exist—until Navy dolphins nosed up another.

An enormous dolphin stampede—about seven miles long and five miles wide and estimated to comprise 100,000 rogue dolphs—is currently rampaging around off the coast of San Diego. Here's a first-hand account:
